I have 9 Panels, tenKsolar, Model TKS-1011020, Old (2011-02-26) 130W Max Voltage 57vdc, Max Current 4A. With a SunEnergy Elv inverter, hooked to the grid. REal energy delivered (kWh) 28,000; Real energy Recieved (kWh) 1.856. Fixed Open rack (Pannels then reflector in a "tee pee" shape. We have had it for 3yrs. I know the panels are old, but the price was right. This was a demo system at the local electric coop. The power guy says that we could go to 15 kW with the inverter. (I dont know if he knows what he is talking about) (same guy told the neighbors that when the power goes out they solar panels will run the house no battery needed)
So my question is:
1. Can I just add more panels?
a. I have room to expand, more.
b. what panels would work with current setup?
2. Get rid of the old and buy some new ones?
From reading, the 130 W panels would be the limiting factor. Is that correct?
Any advise and info I would be greatfull for.
